The backside of the iPhone 4 is also flat, unlike the iPhone 3GS. Both phones have a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating. The new iPhone 4 also features an Now regarding the design, people might have different opinions. But if you ask me, I prefer the thin iPhone 4. Checkout the size and design comparison image above

iPhone 4 vs iPhone 3GS Processor Comparison

The new iPhone 4 utilizes the Apple A4 1GHz processor, while iPhone 3GS uses Cortex-A8 600Mhz processor. So the 400MB increase in the CPU speed is quite something. However, compared to all new smartphones, the 1GHz processor is not a ground-breaking speed. But compared to the iPhone 3GS, it sure means more speed

iPhone 4 vs iPhone 3GS Display Comparison

iphone 4 vs iphone 3Gs display

Apple has surely upgrade the display of the iPhone 4. While both of iPhone 4 and 3GS have the same screen size (3.5 inches) and the same multi-touch abilities, Steve Jobs introduced the Retina display technology used in the iPhone 4. It is obvious with the iPhone 4’s resolution of 960-by-640-pixel (at 326 ppi), the iPhone 3GS screen is way below it (480-by-320-pixel resolution at 163 ppi).

If that’s not enough, the iPhone 4 has 800:1 contrast ratio – that’s 4x of iPhone 3GS. In other words, the iPhone 4 display offers a more crisp and colorful display compared to the iPhone 3GS.

With 5 Megapixel camera and the additional LED flash, the iPhone 4 has live up the expectations. It is obviously better than iPhone 3GS’ 3 megapixel camera. And with a better display, what else do you want?  What’s interesting is the addition of front camera for video calling. A feature that most people expected since the announcement of iPhone 3GS. They finally attach a front facing camera in the iPhone! Anyway, the front facing camera is a VGA camera, and it is able to shoot 30 frames per second.

Other camera features remains the same like tap to focus, autofocus, and geotagging abilities.

iPhone 4 vs iPhone 3GS Battery Comparison

The new iPhone comes with a larger battery, and it seems that Apple has done a pretty good job in increasing the talk time etc.

• iPhone 4 offers up to 7 hours on 3G (14 hours on 2G), Up to 6 hours on 3G connection (10 hours on Wi-Fi), up to 10 hours of video playback and 40 hours of audio playback.
• iPhone 3GS offers up to 5 hours on 3G (12 hours on 2G), Up to 5 hours on 3G connection (9 hours on Wi-Fi), up to 10 hours of video playback and 30 hours of audio playback.

And here are the new features on the iPhone 4 compared to the iPhone 3GS, besides the ones that I have mentioned above:

1. Three Axis Gyro sensors, which is great for gaming
2. Penta-band HSPA, compared to the previous tri-band HSPA. There’s also new HSUPA (5.8 Mbps Uplink) connectivity.
3. new iOS 4; initially called the iPhone OS4

iPhone 4 vs iPhone 3GS comparison Conclusion

Several new features that interests me the most is the new display, new HSUPA 5.8 Mbps connectivity, new front camera and of course the new iOS 4. All in all, the iPhone 4 has live up the expectations and surpasses the iPhone 3GS, way beyond. I guess that’s what it takes to stand up and fight against the monstrous HTC EVO 4G.
